With summer here it is grilling season and one of my favourite things to grill is meat on a stick! I mean, what's not to like? You have meat, sticks and fire! Mmm... Although I generally think of chicken first when it comes to meat on a stick, you can't go wrong with plump juicy shrimp either! I came across the idea of pesto grilled shrimp on Gina's Skinny Taste a few months ago and I was just itching for summer to arrive so that I could use some fresh basil, fire up the grill and try them out! The recipe could not be easier, you simply make the pesto, marinate the shrimp, skewer is on sticks and grill it and this is good since you will want to be making it every week this summer!

Serve with lemon wedges for a hit of citrus-y freshness!

I am so looking forward to grilling up more meat on a stick over the next few weeks!

Newbie cook here, this recipe looks delicious (and must be, based on the comments), but...I just "pulsed" all the stuff together, and I have a rather thick "paste". *That* is the "marinate" for the shrimp?

randy: You should get something more of a sauce rather than a more liquid-y marinade or a paste. You should definitely be able to marinade them in it. If it is too thick, you can add some extra oil, lemon juice or water to thin it out a bit.

I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.
